How Do I Get Rid of My Leaves?

Inverness Resident John Smith sent me the following question in an email:

Are we allowed to push the leaves from our yard to the curb where they can be picked up by the landscape maintenance company when they do the leaves on the commons property or should the leaves from our yard be all placed in bags for pickup by the trash collection?

Thank you for your help.

John's question is certainly timely. So I asked Sharlene Shugarman (board VP and heard of Landscaping) to answer John. Here is her response:

John,

Emerald Landscaping will pick up anyone’s leaves that are left at the curb. They put up their yellow signs at the entrances indicating when they will be coming around. They should be back 2 or 3 more times this season.

Thanks Sharlene for your help!

Inverness resident Adele Gravitz has a very good alternative suggestion. Here is her comment:

Of course, if you can mow over them you get-- "free mulch" ( Mulch has many uses. Some uses include retain moisture, warmth, retard weed growth, and appearance)
